Pending License Suspension Because of Too Many Tickets?
When you mail in a fine with the ticket, you are pleading guilty to a traffic offense. What many people don't realize is that their guilty plea might have put them over 11 points or three speeding and/or misdemeanor tickets within 18 months, thus triggering a suspension or revocation of their New York driving privileges. That's when they come to us.
When you receive an unpleasant notice from the Department of Motor Vehicles informing you of an impending license suspension, we can help. At Colwell, Colwell & Petroccione, LLP, we help clients appeal speeding convictions and other traffic violations in New York.
